    How insulin resistance begins in muscles

    I agree. Which is why sites like dietdoctor and people like Jason fung are so important. They are actual medical professionals that are changing how the world can treat type 2 diabetes. Not quacks, or people out to stop us eating meat, but actual doctors treating actual diabetics. I follow Jason...

    Change in taste

    I don't know if its the metformin or just because I no longer eat much in the way of carbs, but my taste has definitely changed. I no longer even want to eat sweet things, but like most others I do crave potato!!!! Nothing can ever come close to chip shop chips. I really miss them. Although I...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Thanks @Bubbsie , I have had fbgs in the 8s this week, so as you say, its the right direction. We had a good visit to an oncologist with my grandson this week and we are really hopeful. Just waiting on some tests to come back. But I am sleeping better. We have sleet here. Just enough to make...

    Bariatric Surgery for T2's - Gastric Bypass

    May I ask a question? This is just a question and by no means any sort of comment on problems etc. I was heading towards morbidly obese at over 16st. Have lost weight now but I am a realistic comfort eater who uses fear of t2d complications to keep my weight down and to stop eating carbs...

    NO veg please

    I make a sort of veggie cheese with lightly boiled veg, covered in cheese sauce and then roasted for a while. Yummy and tastes of cheese.

    recent diagnosed

    Hello and welcome!! No, far from a lost cause. All the things you like are still going to be there. Its good that you are not keen on fruit, because we t2ds shouldn't be eating it. Some members on this forum eat hardly any veg at all and have a very high meat diet. Please have a good read on...

    My Symptoms Persist

    I see that you started this post by agreeing that the description of the syndrome sounded like the problems you have been suffering from for some time. But then you ended by going back to talking about carbs, which you really have no problem with at all. Read back thru the last message that...

    Lower Carb Commercial Foods

    I have just found chicken and veg soup by sainbury. Its in the fresh pot and has just over 10 g carbs perpot. And the pot is huge. And its quite tasty and an excellent meal if in a hurry.

    Lower Carb Commercial Foods

    Thanks for that. I had a look and bought a bread mix. I really miss bread, but as you say, I don't want to get back to craving stuff any more. I am a terrible comfort eater and these last few weeks have been a bit rocky and I just wanted something to stuff in my face! I think I am just going to...

    What Would Count as a Cure for Type 2?

    Thats a very interesting question. And I think, from my dim and distant nursing days, that the answer is a qualified "yes," non d's do have a higher fbg when ill, but it falls quicker and tends not to have associated problems. For example, I have also had thrush this month. (Tmi!) Also I think...

    What Would Count as a Cure for Type 2?

    I have read this whole thread, really very interesting. And have seen the answers about the difference between controlling, reversed, diet controlled, medication controlled, eating a good diet not counting as a cure etc. But it seems to me that these are all things that we can do to our bodies...

    What Would Count as a Cure for Type 2?

    I did a sort of nd, but with lchf food. About 800 cals a day, ate omad, no snacks. Did it for about 12 weeks and then upped cals. Lost nearly 6 st in 6 months. Didn't feel hungry at all, presumably because I am now keto adapted and it just seems natural to me now. I was terrified when first...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Good morning all. Not been on here much recently because my g'son is poorly again, we all have colds etc and life is generally getting in the way!. Thank you for the advice on how to get my fbg to start to lower. Liver blocks etc. But, its not working. Today I am 7.7 I am doing nothing...
